Russia deported Ukrainian children to North Korea: they ended up in military camps

The RF is deporting Ukrainian children to North Korea

The Russian Federation is deporting Ukrainian children to occupied territories, from which they reach military camps in North Korea. Expert Kateryna Rashevska reported about 165 such camps in Belarus, Russia, and, unfortunately, even in North Korea.

At a hearing in the U.S. Senate, Kateryna Rashevska showed photos of Misha and Liza, who were illegally sent to these camps. The children learn combat skills and communicate with Korean veterans who attacked an American ship in 1968.

Scale of the Problem

As of October 2025, it is known that 19,000 Ukrainian children have been illegally taken out of the country. The UN General Assembly demands their immediate return. There are also reports of suspicion against the former 'DPR' minister and his associates in the case of the illegal transportation of children to Russia.

The situation regarding the transportation of Ukrainian children to occupied territories and military camps in North Korea is being considered at the international level, and an investigation is ongoing in Ukraine regarding these facts.
